When a work assistant can use a smaller model
What the source says
This position paper proposes small models for repetitive, narrow agent tasks. It discusses specialization and economics rather than demonstrating that smaller models are universally better.
What this means for a buyer
Describe a recurring task and what a correct result looks like. Compare a compact model with a larger one before choosing hardware.
What to check before choosing
- Choose a recurring task with a verifiable result.
- Compare models on the same examples.
- Assess quality, response time and costs together.
